Cleaning strings

Hi all,

A javascript, usefull for a string manipulation toolbox.
Puts the first character in uppercase, the others in lowercase. Example : Vincent instead of vincent.
This code is specific to Kettle (Input.getString) but can be used in Talend with little change.


//First letter in uppercase, others in lowercase

var c = Input.getString().substr(0,1);
if (parseInt(Input.getString().length)==1)

{
var cc = upper(c);
}

else
{
var cc = upper(c) + lower(Input.getString().slice(1));
}
